Stewart Butterfield on Flickr

7/02/2005 @ 23:55 GMT

Philippe Janvier : Stewart Butterfield on Flickr - "There're definitely people who feel alright about making their photos public and having it available to other people in the context of Flickr but who feel uncomfortable about them showing up in other places like that". [via#

jkottke : Great interview with Stewart about Flickr - "Capturing the creative energy of the hive can be scary. It requires giving up some control, and eliminating lock-in as a strategy."

Milo Vermeulen : O'Reilly Network: Stewart Butterfield on Flickr - O'Reilly Network: Stewart Butterfield on Flickr [via] [via]

Andy Baio : O'Reilly interview with Flickr's Stewart Butterfield - growth stats, API ideas, and coming out of beta [via]  [via]

plasticbag : Stewart Butterfield interviewed by the O'Reilly network about Flickr, metadata, social software and tagging... - "When you're doing it for yourself, it's like a chore, its drudgery. When you're doing it as part of a community, in a collaborative way, it can still be a little bit of work, but the payoff is so much larger."
